The main object I have had m View in the i invention of the-scid article of pyrotechny has been to dispenseV with the stick whichis uen elly appended to or makes part of en ordinary f rocket, and which, after fiight and explosion of the rocket, fails through the air .to 'thel ground. Persons are not unfiequently Killed, maimed, or seveleiy injured by rocket-etiche so falling upon them, and so common are tvheee Vaccidents that I have sought to ohtuin a soie, ty-rochet, one requiiqing no etiek ee e mee-ne ci' insuringiits Sight in any iieeireei direction. I have admirably succeeded my eiocie, and will n ow proceed4 to describe this new ro tion.
